The Jewish Hero that we learnt about this week was Yehoshua/Joshua. Yehoshua was Moshe's sucsessor and led the Jewish people into the Promised land of Israel. Before Moshe passed away, he wrote down the entire Torah because he was afraid the people may forget the Torah and it may get lost. However, with the written Torah, as well as the Oral parts of Torah and the traditions, Yehoshua continued the chain and passed it all down to his generation.
Until this very day, we have the same Torah, unchanged. Like a link in a chain, each one is connected to the one proceeding it, as well as following it. Our parents sent us to Hebrew School so we could learn the Torah and understand its teachings ; they are also ensuring our Jewish identity and pride remains.
Now, we too have a responsibility to our children and the next generation to pass the Torah on and keep the chain going.
